Not a peep to their tea bagger public how much pushing the GOP agenda will cost the country and how their bagger reps would break the tea party agenda to vote for it.
It will be interesting to see if these baggers do what they say they came to do or follow into submission to Lord Boehner and vote to increase the deficit which they promised not to do.

Boehner got them a permission slip in the form a a report with cooked numbers. It has a title similar to the title of the repeal legislation, so you know it must be objective.

No I did not sign mine, by the time I am through with my organs they will be so used up a dog would not want them.

I'm with ya on that one. I wouldn't donate my organs to my worst enemy.

Funny thing is, when I tell people that a lot of them act like I'm being greedy.

In a letter to the editor in today's WaPo the writer worked out the cost per employee to companies with more than 50 employees. It worked out to either $0.48 or $0.96 per hour, hardly the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Come on Don, if we can't whack granny now, what are going to do with the boomers?

Sgt. Morris told me that whenever he rode into Germany in 1945 that the sausage factories were running wide open.

Soylent "GREEN". How "GREEN" are you?

Whatever they do, they need to figure out a way to empower doctors to concentrate on healing and not obsessing on how to protect themselves against lawsuits.

Our family doctor delivered hundreds of babies until the cost of malpractice insurance forece him to quit in the late eighties, so he was unable to deliver our eldest which was our wish. We needed some help and worked with a highly touted infertility specialist / OBGYN in the area who helped us and delivered our second in '90. Just 2 years later he stopped delivering due to the cost of insurance and out 3rd and 4th were not able to be delivered by either of the doctors we preferred.

Every field now charges/spends a huge percentage covering their asses against lawsuits, and this has to be addressed.

Incompetent doctors need to stop giving people excuses to sue.

Maybe if they just drop their insurance and file bankruptcy everytime someone sues so that the plaintiffs get nothing?

The insurance companies make a lot of money off of fear. I wonder what their return is on malpractice coverage?

If a doctor's negligence seriously disables a person, it becomes very expensive for that person to handle the basic activities of daily living. If the expense is not borne by the doctor or his insurer, who should bear the cost of care for that person? The cost of insurance should motivate the medical community to weed out the butchers and quacks. Good luck getting the insurance companies to lower their premiums when the risk goes down, though.
